The Journey of Bailey Butterfly

Activity book with the S-O-S exercises for Emotional First Aid and stressregulation for children

by Kati Bohnet

For children of kindergarten and primary school age, I have embedded the S-O-S exercises in the story of the butterfly Jonah in a child-friendly way. In this way, teachers, adoptive/foster parents and other caregivers can already work with young children, both in groups and individually. For example, the S-O-S exercises can be used to regulate stress in the morning circle, before meals, for nap time, before classwork and lectures, at bedtime or when upset, thus supporting the nervous system to reach a state where calmness, rest, concentration, mindfulness and social contact skills are possible.

„The Butterfly’s Journey“ is available free of charge as a video as well as a self-published book illustrated by myself, including accompanying educational material.

The book is available in German, English and soon also in Turkish.
